This series had so much potential, if not for the excessive good for nothing fan-service, this could have been one of the best series, but it is definitely one of the good ones. I'll start by writing the characters, plot and ending.
We saw some character development in a positive direction this season. many people say - i don't understand why the characters are so amnesic, on one moment they are all serious talk and then we look at other scene, as they are sacrificing each other under pretense that they do not believe/trust each other. While I understand this does feels frustrating and I myself prayed many times for it to stop, but the aim could be show Louis's personality, and if we really look at it, this gives so much insight on her. Like she has spent her life as noble and always be b…

When I decided to pick up The Familiar of Zero after dropping season 1 for reasons I still don't remember, I didn't expect myself to become so invested in an anime. This anime has consistently kept me interested and entertained. Season 3 was a bit eh but made up for it in the second half in my opinion but overall it was still good. Season 4 for me fixed so many of the issues that I had with season 3 and managed to wrap up the story lines in a pretty great way and I am so glad I watched this entire series.
Season 4 as mentioned fixed so many of the issues I had with season 3. S3 to me was mostly just fan service mixed with a bit of action. I'm not entirely sure why they went down that route but if it wasn't for a solid last few episodes of that season I would have given it a much lower ra…

So I came back to this anime after years, and I do mean years, of not paying it any attention. Truthfully, I should have probably avoided it. This anime isn't bad, it's just average to a boring degree. Top that with it clearly being a product of its time, and you get an average anime with fanservice that no one should go back to. That being said, I enjoyed taking a trip down memory lane myself and there is some value in this title. Just not enough for me to recommend it. That sums it up if you want to stop reading, more details are below otherwise.
Story: 4/10
The story, if you can call it that, is built on a very interesting premise. A Japanese boy is pulled into a medieval world of mages by a failed mage student. He becomes her familiar and chaos ensues. Unfortunately, that is just abou…

I have watched all four seasons of "Zero no Tsukaima" multiple times since I was a teenager, and it always stuck out in my mind as the first anime story I watched where the side characters are actually well-written and have their own conflicts and character development. My rating was a 9/10, but had to lower it to just 7/10 after recently binge-watching the entire series. DO NOT LET THIS REVIEW DISCOURAGE YOU FROM WATCHING THE OTHER 3 SEASONS! In fact, "Familiar of Zero: F" is actually pretty good until the 4th episode, so I would suggest to any first-time viewer: just watch until the 3rd episode!
My favorite thing about the entire "Familiar of Zero" story is how well the side-characters (Kirche, Jean Colbert, Tabitha, etc) are written and how every character goes through some growth, an…

Here we are at the final season of what has been a somewhat decent isekai show. Protagonist-kun's harem is reaching visual novel levels, and his budding relationship with Zero is actually starting to look like it might actually go somewhere. There is a plot and they finally finish hammering out the details of the overarching story they wanted to tell but that's honestly not why I'm watching the show at this point. The story was never really anything special, generic bad guy number 35 has an evil scheme to unleash Chaos or the Darkness or whatever (I think it actually was one of those) and the heroes beat him by believing in themselves and the power of friendship. All standard forgettable stuff.
What I'm here for is Siesta continuing to be the best girl, and the occasional sex mirror tunne…

"LOVE AND HATE"
This is what I feel everytime I watched this anime, you will love the character at some point but there will also be times that you will hate them. This last season really satisfies me from watching this until the end and I don't regret watching it.
This is my own opinion and perspective but LOUISE really deserves this ending
.
.
.
Why? It may differ from your perspective but out of all the characters, she is the one that is really the only one that is genuinely willing to do everything for Saito and it may contradict at some point in the story but she act rather than talk only. It may be a controversial since she is a tsundere that always hit Saito but out of all girls, she just not always seduce Saito but act and prove it how much she cares for him(which always contradi…

Zero no Tsukaima F is just MORE than any other season of the series. MORE harem, MORE ecchi, MORE cute scenes, MORE wholesome scenes. Zero no Tsukaima F feels just better than any other previous season, however not in every aspect.
The plot makes much less sense than before. Fights seem to be forced, as creators didn't really have much idea, what can be done in this season. There are fewer fights overall and fight scenes are kind of more in the background than before. The story with the elves and dragon are absolutely from nowhere, making the whole story even more nonsense. A number of miracles and lucky coincidences during the story have gone up to the ceiling, even for an anime. Don't get me wrong, I like how often anime story is "too perfect" or "too good to be true", but here it is do…

This season had a bad start and a good end. I really liked the first two seasons of this anime, but I really didn't like the third one. This season has a little of both. The start of the season the mc cheats on Louise like 19 times and has no remorse, which sucks. However, the last few episodes of this season are by far the best in the series by a whole lot. The ending is really good, by far the best part of the entire series, but it was weird that *spoiler* they killed off his sword, had it come back, and then killed it again. I guess it just lives in his hand but that's a bit odd. Idk, this anime in general kinda sucked, but I liked it. The harem elements definitely made it worse, and they made me want to drop the show, but other than that it was actually pretty good and entertaining. It…

I want to write this review about Zero No Tsukaima as a whole. Please forgive me for my bad English.
Zero No Tsukaima is clearly the kind of anime that gets deeper and deeper as the seasons goes on.
You start by saying to yourself "great anime without needs to think" and it is clearly that all along. It can be displeasing and I understand but when you adhere to the concept it's just incredible.
The depth and the development of the story and the characters make this anime absolutely great.if you like sentimental stories. In spite of this "romance" side, the geopolitical and main storyline part is also very interesting.
Yes I note this end as a masterpieces because it's been a long time since I enjoyed an anime so much.
The reuse of the openning musics in instrumental version during…

Zero no Tsukaima F.
The Familiar of Zero F.
I actually had realistic hopes for the final season. Especially since the first 2 episodes were reasonably solid despite the fan service. But this season managed to teach me otherwise.
My conclusion is now as follows. It's a perfect example of descending quality that was pretty weak in the beginning anyway. Season 1 was clearly the best here and it has lost more and more. I can't decide whether season 3 or 4 can now symbolize the worst of the series. The course of this season was a little different. Compared to the others, this season has had a solid first 2 episodes, whereas it got worse and worse until the end. The closing episodes of this season were therefore also the worst. Whereby it was exactly the other way around with the other seas…

This review assumes you have seen seasons 1-3 and may reference some or all of my past reviews for the entirety of this series. This review WILL contain spoilers for Season 4.
Let me start off by saying I love/really like The Familiar of Zero series, if i didn't i wouldn't have watched the entire 48 episodes worth of it + the OVA and the other stuff in this series such as the 7 short episodes of the Tristain Love Theater. Side note, that's prolly canon, when and where and why it takes place no one can say, my review on it wasn't sure if it's canon and pointed out something but given what S4 did, i feel its prolly canon. Anyway, with that outta the way let's start the review...
The Familiar of Zero F (F for final because it's the final entry in the series) for me was a let down, and its e…

I am so damn glad I kept watching after season 3. This season alone was worth staying through the previous three. Every single thing has improved here.
Now, to the categories:
STORY:
This season's story is the climax of the entire anime. This is what you came for. It took an entire 3rd season to set the stage for this. This is where the hypothetical narrator says "Alright, enough joking. It's time for shit to get real". Finally a different formula than the one used before.
The story is aligned well and nothing is left behind, everything happens for a reason. No high-effort humor here, almost pure story and a strong emphasis on character relationships (more on that later). The story also features great plot twists, and as the biggest guesser in the world when it comes to stories even I cou…

Zero no Tsukaima F in the final season of this anime series and to me, personally, it had worn out its welcome.
Solid sound and animation across the board, with some of the best fighting/action scenes in the series. However having to watch the same fickle relationship with the same tsundere girl for the 4th season in a row started to get on my nerves.
I get it that it's the core of the show, but come on. There's a limit as to how unbelievable you can make it and still get away with it. 4 seasons of romance, and Louise is still embarrassed over a kiss despite almost marrying Saito a few seasons prior while sleeping with him every night? Still not sure Saito actually loves him despite being told so a hundred times, saved by him a hundred times, having been chosen over other girls a hundred…

Probably my favorite Harem anime to date.
Zero No Tsukaima F, an anime that's been around for quite some time and only now have I finished it. Honestly though, I'm thoroughly impressed with this series. Not just impressed though, I'm actually satisfied. For once a harem anime that doesn't have the MC tripping on some in-animate object to only land in some girls' boobs, a trope that's plagued nearly half of series that I've seen. There's actually a story here, with good characters that are really enjoyable.
However the characters are debatable. If you're not a fan of Tsundere's I would highly suggest you don't watch this series (although if you've made it this far then you probably don't mind).
To make this review short: all in all, I highly recommend you watch this (or re-watch this).…

TL;DR: If you already watched the first 3 seasons, don't stop now!
I won't write a super long review on this, as you most likely already have seen the first 3 seasons when checking out reviews here.
Season 4 is in my opinion the best of them all. The story is well done, the relationship between Louise and Saito breaks its partially repetitive pattern and finally advances, and with some major tragedy in between comes to a truly beautiful happy end.
The ending is so well-rounded that I'd say that is the optimal ending the series could've had, no need for more seasons whatsoever.
**SPOILERS AHEAD**
If you want to be spoiled what happens in their relationship (very shortly); Saito gets another power which allows him to increase void magic (e.g. of Louise) at the cost of his own life ener…

This series is bad, i did not enjoy nothing while watching it.
But, i don't know how to express myself.
I knew i was watching garbage since season one, but...
Story: 5
Can't say too much about it, simple medieval fantasy with elfs, nothing new.
Art: 9
Animation get really criticied over the years, but this art was amazing for the series.
I'd give it a 10 if it wasn't THIS exact anime. Sound: 6
Meh, this wasn't a strong point, nothing to sasy about it.
Characters: 7
I.HATE.TSUNDERES. i said by the start of this review that this anime was thrash.
But, over all the seasons, all characters get to fit in.
Enjoyment: 1
I HATE ECCHIS, FFS JUST STOP GETTING CLICHE-CHAN TO STOP EVERY ENJOYABLE SCENE.
Overall: 10
This anime was a "droug" for me, i couldn't stop watching even if it was 9:00AM…

I am going to make this a review about all four seasons of Zero no Tsukaima (while mainly focusing on this one) and I am going to try doing this without giving away any spoilers if possible.
Zero no Tsukaima is an anime with incredible potential. What I mean by that is, if it dropped all the nonsense (fan service and repetition for instance) and focused on the story and such, it could have been amazing. It has some moments of clarity where it focuses on the story and the characters and when it does that, it is brilliant. (But it usually lasts just for a few minutes and that's a shame.)
Story:
Long story short, the story is basically about a boy who finds himself in another world, in this place no one speaks his language and he has no idea what's going on or how the got there. An acciden…

Going to change it since the original review I wrote was cringe and written when I just started watching anime.
I'm way too biased to write an objective review for this series but this review was never really meant to objective in any ways. I watched all of Zero no Tsukaima during the second half of 2017. It was the only thing I looked forward to watching after getting home from work. I re-watched it again not too long ago and was surprised by how much I still enjoyed it. I did think some of the jokes were cheesy but still enough to muster up smirk.
If you enjoyed the series so far, just keep watching. Also the ending was, in my opinion phenomenal. The music that they played too fit what was happening so perfectly. Hands down one of my favorite endings in anime for sure.

This review will be covering all 4 seasons of the show and might include some spoilers:
I went into this show having no idea what to expect, with most animes I had watched at least a few clips on YouTube so I kind of knew what to expect and what would happen story wise. This anime was an exception, I saw someone on a forum say that this was a really good romance/comedy anime (I'm a big fan of this genre) so I was bored one day and decided to watch the first few episodes.
Within the first 2 or 3 I was hooked on the show, it has a really good sense of humour, the art style is really pleasant, each of the characters are really unique and interesting. In the first season there isn't a massive focus on the romance between the characters but there are a lot of nice, sweet scenes that give you…

This review is of the entire series of Zero no Tsukaima, so i will be taking into account the series as a whole.
Zero No Tsukaima F is the final season in the series, and to start off, the story was fairly intriguing, though the male kead getting sent to another world isn't anything new, throughout the series you can see the main characters see their flaws, which in other anime of this type, they pretty much don't have.
overall it was enjoyable, though roughly half of the first season felt like a slog, after that, it was all smooth sailing. because this is the fourth season of the series there is a lot of development between all of the characters, and their environment, thought sometimes there can be a little bit of deus ex machina, the plot is interesting if you enjoy seeing the charact…
